SIGN    Uenoyama
[00:09] Yayoi
    Ritsuka!
[00:16] Yayoi
    Ritsuka? Hey, dumbass!
[00:27] Yayoi
    Hey, are you listening?
[00:36] Yayoi
    Ritsuka, food's ready!
[00:41] Ritsuka
    What?
[00:43] Yayoi
    Don't "what" me...
[00:45] Ritsuka
    Food?
[00:46] Yayoi
    What the hell is all this?
[00:48] Ritsuka
    What the hell is that you're wearing?
[00:50] Ritsuka
    I'm gonna tell Kaji-san.
[00:52] Yayoi
    Huh?! Do you want food or not?!
[00:55] Ritsuka
    I'll be right down.
[02:55] Guy
    Hey, look.
[02:57] Guy 2
    Hm?
[02:58] Guy 2
    Oh, the amateur model chick?
[03:00] Guy
    Yeah, her. She's our college's pageant queen.
[03:05] Guy 2
    I bet she's hard to approach.
[03:07] Guy
    I'd say she's more the pretty
    type than the cute type.
[03:10] Guy 2
    Yeah, I get that.
[03:15] Guy
    Oh, what's this?
[03:17] Guy 2
    She's messing with her hair now.
[03:19] Yayoi
    Akihiko!
[03:27] Guy
    Huh?
[03:29] Guy
    So she can be cute.
[03:32] Guy
    Well, look at her.
[03:33] Guy
    Can't judge a book by its cover, huh?
[03:35] Guy
    Huh? You listening, Haruki?
[03:37] Guy
    What's up?
[03:38] Guy
    Dude, your face...
[03:41] Yayoi
    Say, Akihiko...
[03:43] Yayoi
    Are you guys playing
     another gig or something?
[03:45] Akihiko
    Hm? Why?
[03:47] Yayoi
    Ritsuka was working really hard on something.
[03:51] Akihiko
    Uenoyama was?
[03:52] Yayoi
    Yeah.
[03:54] Yayoi
    He wouldn't even eat. He just
    kept fiddling with his guitar.
[03:57] Yayoi
    I don't know what he was up to,
    but he was seriously into it.
[04:01] Akihiko
    Huh...
[04:02] Yayoi
    It's like he went back to how he used to be.
[04:06] Yayoi
    My point is, if you're actually
    doing a gig, send me an invite.
[04:10] Akihiko
    Sure.
[04:15] Itaya
    Uenoyama.
[04:17] Ueki
    He's dead.
[04:18] Itaya
    Uenoyama! Your favorite part
     of the day is here! Lunchtime!
[04:22] Kasai
    I'll wake him up.
[04:25] Kasai
    Uenoyama-kun!
[04:27] Kasai
    It's lunchtime!
[04:29] Itaya
    I wonder if Kasai-san likes Uenoyama, after all.
[04:29] Kasai
    Uenoyama-kun.
[04:33] Ueki
    Huh?
[04:34] Itaya
    What?
[04:35] Mafuyu
    Um...
[04:37] Mafuyu
    Is Uenoyama-kun here?
[04:39] Itaya
    I think Kasai-san's trying to
    snatch him up as we speak.
[04:43] Kasai
    Anyone home?
[04:47] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun!
[04:51] Kasai
    Huh?!
[04:51] Itaya
    Oh, he's awake.
[04:53] Itaya
    Guess that means he's
    gonna play guitar today.
[04:56] Ueki
    Let's ask someone from Class 9 to play with us.
[05:01] Itaya
    Uenoyama, you playing guitar today?
[05:03] Ritsuka
    Yeah.
[05:04] Itaya
    What about tomorrow?
[05:05] Ritsuka
    I'll play basketball...
[05:08] Waka
    Looks like Sato-kun stole
     Uenoyama-kun from you...
[05:13] Waka
    Kasai-chan, your face!
[05:19] Ritsuka
    Mafuyu, you got some time this weekend?
[05:22] Mafuyu
    I have work in the evenings.
[05:26] Ritsuka
    Wanna go look at some effect pedals soon?
[05:30] Mafuyu
    Effect pedals?
[05:31] Ritsuka
    It depends on what kind you get,
[05:33] Ritsuka
    but most of them are little
    machines around this size.
[05:37] Ritsuka
    Basically, it adds sound effects to your guitar.
[05:42] Ritsuka
    You can make it sound
     distorted, like "bwam,"
[05:45] Ritsuka
    or make it echo, like "bwam, bwam."
[05:47] Ritsuka
    Then you connect it to the amp
     so you can actually hear it.
[05:50] Ritsuka
    You know what an amp is now, right?
[05:52] Mafuyu
    The speaker-looking things
     that are all over the studio.
[05:55] Ritsuka
    Yeah, those.
[05:57] Ritsuka
    But the thing with effect pedals is that
     there are so many different kinds.
[06:02] Mafuyu
    'Kay.
[06:03] Ritsuka
    That also means that the
    price range is pretty huge.
[06:06] Ritsuka
    You get me?
[06:08] Mafuyu
    That sounds difficult.
[06:10] Ritsuka
    I'm sure it does.
[06:13] Ritsuka
    You got money?
[06:17] Mafuyu
    Not much.
[06:18] Ritsuka
    I figured.
[06:19] Ritsuka
    I'll let you borrow mine for
     a while so you can try it out.
[06:24] Ritsuka
    I mean...
[06:26] Ritsuka
    If you're going to join the band,
     I need to whip you into shape.
[06:30] Ritsuka
    I won't go easy on you anymore.
[06:42] Mafuyu
    Say, Uenoyama-kun...
[06:44] Ritsuka
    Hm?
[06:49] Ritsuka
    What? Out with it, c'mon.
[07:03] Ritsuka
    Okay, fine. Just tell me when you feel like it.
[07:10] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[07:11] Mafuyu
    You've been working on something lately... right?
[07:15] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[07:16] Ritsuka
    Oh! Yeah, I have.
[07:18] Ritsuka
    I'm writing a song for you, actually.
[07:22] Mafuyu
    A song?!
[07:24] Ritsuka
    That song in your head.
[07:27] Ritsuka
    I figured I might be able to
     turn it into an actual song.
[07:30] Mafuyu
    You remember it?
[07:31] Ritsuka
    Huh? Of course I do. I've heard it twice now.
[07:40] Ritsuka
    Right?
[07:42] Mafuyu
    That's so cool!
[07:46] Ritsuka
    I've just been filling in
    the missing parts myself...
[07:48] Mafuyu
    I wanna hear it!
[07:55] Mafuyu
    Kaji-san, Haruki-san.
[07:58] Mafuyu
    I look forward to working with you further.
[08:01] Akihiko
    Sure, glad to have ya.
[08:03] Haruki
    I'm glad everything worked out.
[08:10] Haruki
    You're just going to be playing guitar, right?
[08:12] Ritsuka
    No, he's going to be on guitar and vocals.
[08:14] Haruki
    Huh? You can sing, Mafuyu?
[09:20] Haruki
    All right, then...
[09:22] Haruki
    Let's celebrate Mafuyu joining the band.
[09:24] Haruki
    Cheers!
[09:27] Ritsuka
    Cheers?
[09:28] Akihiko
    Cheers.
[09:29] Both
    Yeah.
[09:37] Both
    Yeah.
[09:41] Haruki
    But, man, Mafuyu...
[09:43] Haruki
    You always seem out of it, so I
    wondered if you could actually sing...
[09:46] Haruki
    But you've really got some
    pipes on you. You startled me.
[09:50] Akihiko
    For real.
[09:51] Haruki
    It's not like you've actually
     been a vocalist before, right?
[09:54] Ritsuka
    Nope.
[09:56] Ritsuka
    In fact, I'm still not sure if he understands
    the first thing about bands yet.
[10:01] Mafuyu
    I at least understand the first thing... Sort of.
[10:04] Akihiko
    "Sort of"?
[10:05] Ritsuka
    "Sort of"?
[10:07] Haruki
    But you seem like you've got hidden potential,
[10:10] Haruki
    so with a little practice,
    I bet you could kill it.
[10:13] Haruki
    What kind of music do you usually listen to?
[10:20] Mafuyu
    What do you listen to, Uenoyama-kun?
[10:22] Ritsuka
    Huh?! You're asking me?
[10:29] Ritsuka
    Like... UK rock?
[10:31] Mafuyu
    UK?
[10:32] Ritsuka
    Rock music from England.
     I listen to Japanese music, too.
[10:35] Haruki
    Uenoyama's playlist throws some really
    sophisticated songs sometimes.
[10:39] Akihiko
    Influenced by your dad's preferences, huh?
[10:41] Ritsuka
    Yeah, something like that.
[10:44] Haruki
    And as for me...
[10:45] Akihiko
    You've got a lot of poppy and cutesy music.
[10:48] Haruki
    Cute—
[10:50] Haruki
    Well... out of us three, I probably do
     listen to the most Japanese rock...
[10:55] Haruki
    I do like pop, too.
[10:57] Ritsuka
    Kaji-san's got the broadest
     taste out of all of us.
[11:00] Ritsuka
    He'd go to a metal festival one day
    and a classical concert the next.
[11:04] Akihiko
    Well, I am also a music major.
[11:07] Mafuyu
    A music major?
[11:09] Ritsuka
    He plays the violin. Isn't that awesome?
[11:11] Akihiko
    Why are you bragging for me?
[11:12] Ritsuka
    He's a total Akihiko fanboy.
[11:15] Mafuyu
    So you all have different music tastes.
[11:19] Haruki
    But I think we get along so well
     because our tastes are so different.
[11:23] Akihiko
    When it comes to our musical direction...
[11:26] Ritsuka
    Whatever. I'm gonna do what I want.
[11:29] Akihiko
    ...is our basic attitude.
[11:31] Akihiko
    We didn't go in thinking we had
    to understand each other.
[11:35] Haruki
    In fact, when I've played in bands
    where we all had the same interests,
[11:38] Haruki
    we all ended up arguing,
    and it never worked out.
[11:41] Haruki
    We clash because we like the same things.
[11:44] Akihiko
    I totally get that.
[11:46] Akihiko
    It always ends in bloodshed.
[11:49] Ritsuka
    Uh, no one usually bleeds...
[12:00] Haruki
    Welcome...
[12:02] Haruki
    Take-chan!
[12:04] Take
    Hey.
[12:12] Take
    That hits the spot!
[12:13] Haruki
    Exhausted lately?
[12:14] Take
    Hell yeah, I am.
[12:17] Take
    I never knew planning concerts
     on my own would be this rough.
[12:20] Take
    I never wanna do this again.
[12:22] Haruki
    Didn't you say that before?
[12:25] Take
    How are things with you? How's the band?
[12:27] Haruki
    We actually just got a vocalist.
[12:30] Haruki
    And get this: he's a high school kid.
[12:32] Take
    Huh...
[12:33] Haruki
    Having a vocalist is refreshing,
[12:35] Haruki
    and Uenoyama is super pumped,
     so things are going well.
[12:39] Take
    Hey, wanna perform at the
     concert I'm organizing, then?
[12:44] Haruki
    Huh?

    Where is he?
SIGN    I'm almost there
[13:42] Ritsuka
    Almost here?
[13:46] Ritsuka
    Isn't it past time?
[13:49] Ritsuka
    Maybe his "almost there" doesn't
    actually mean "almost there."
SIGN    Where are you?

[14:28] Ritsuka
    Mafuyu, where the heck are you?
[14:31] Mafuyu
    The ticket gate.
[14:34] Mafuyu
    Where are you?
[14:36] Ritsuka
    I told you. By the central ticket gate.
[14:45] Ritsuka
    There you are!
[14:53] Ritsuka
    My bad... I should've picked a more precise spot.
[15:01] Ritsuka
    I'll be specific next time.
[15:04] Ritsuka
    You did... bring your guitar, I see. Good.
[15:09] Ritsuka
    Okay, let's go.
[15:29] Ritsuka
    There are tons of places in
    Shibuya that sell instruments,
[15:31] Ritsuka
    but if we're going to look at effect
     pedals, we should go here first.
[15:57] Mafuyu
    Are these all effect pedals?
[16:00] Ritsuka
    Yup.
[16:01] Mafuyu
    Even that one?
[16:02] Ritsuka
    Yeah.
[16:03] Mafuyu
    That, too?
[16:04] Ritsuka
    Yeah.
[16:13] Mafuyu
    What's the best kind of effect pedal?
[16:18] Ritsuka
    Well, for your first one, you should
     probably get a distortion pedal.
[16:22] Mafuyu
    Distortion?
[16:23] Ritsuka
    Since you just started playing and
[16:26] Ritsuka
    probably don't know what
    kind of sound you want,
[16:29] Ritsuka
    getting a multi-effect pedal right
    now would just hurt your wallet.
[16:35] Ritsuka
    I think this is a pretty good choice.
[16:40] Mafuyu
    It's cute.
[16:41] Ritsuka
    I guess it is, kinda.
[16:44] Ritsuka
    Wanna give it a try?
[16:46] Mafuyu
    Huh? We can try it?
[16:48] Ritsuka
    If we don't try it out, we won't
     know what it sounds like.
[16:52] Ritsuka
    Pardon me.
[17:09] Mafuyu
    I guess they're all in bands.
[17:15] Ritsuka
    Go ahead and play it a little.
[17:17] Mafuyu
    'Kay.
[17:20] Ritsuka
    That's how your guitar
     sounds without any effects.
[17:23] Ritsuka
    And then...
[17:38] Ritsuka
    That's what overdrive sounds like.
[17:40] Mafuyu
    Wow...
[17:42] Ritsuka
    Is that the one you want?
[17:44] Mafuyu
    Yeah.
SIGN    Pre-Tax
[17:50] Ritsuka
    I guess new ones do cost about that much...
[17:54] Ritsuka
    Let's go.
[18:06] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun, the station's this way.
[18:09] Ritsuka
    We're going this way.
[18:23] Ritsuka
    Mafuyu?
[18:26] Ritsuka
    Don't worry. I come here all the time.
SIGN    Music & Repair Shop
[18:43] Mafuyu
    A music store?
[18:44] Ritsuka
    Yeah, for used stuff.
[18:45] Mafuyu
    You can get secondhand instruments?
[18:48] Ritsuka
    If you try something out and
    it sounds fine, who cares?
[18:51] Ritsuka
    They have a decent selection here.
[18:54] Ritsuka
    That stuff is new, though.
[18:58] Guy
    Welcome. Anything you're looking for?
[19:01] Ritsuka
    Hey. Do you have a blue overdrive pedal?
[19:06] Guy
    Ah... Give me a sec.
[19:12] Mafuyu
    That's it!
[19:14] Ritsuka
    How much is it?
[19:16] Guy
    7,000 yen plus tax.
[19:18] Ritsuka
    7,000 yen...
[19:20] Ritsuka
    You got enough?
[19:25] Mafuyu
    Um...
[19:27] Mafuyu
    Do you do layaway plans?
[19:30] Mafuyu
    I'll work some more and come back.
[19:33] Guy
    Could you write down your name
     and contact info here, then?
[19:36] Mafuyu
    Okay.
[19:39] Guy
    Friend of yours?
[19:41] Ritsuka
    Uh... yes. We're in a band together.
[19:46] Ritsuka
    What?
[19:54] Ritsuka
    I'm glad they had the one you wanted.
[19:57] Mafuyu
    Yeah.
[20:01] Mafuyu
    I've never been anywhere like that.
[20:08] Mafuyu
    Thanks for taking me.
[20:11] Ritsuka
    S-Sure...
[20:15] Kasai
    That was so fun. How about a little break?
[20:18] Waka
    Sure.
[20:25] Waka
    It's Uenoyama-kun and Sato-kun.
[20:29] Kasai
    Why are they always together?
[20:31] Waka
    Huh?
[20:32] Kasai
    They're all over each other, day after day...
[20:35] Kasai
    Why are they hanging out
     outside of school, too?
[20:38] Kasai
    Why? Are they dating or something?
[20:41] Waka
    Um...
[20:42] Kasai
    Huh?
[20:43] Waka
    Oh, uh...
[20:44] Kasai
    What? Do you know something?
[20:47] Waka
    Well, I... um...
[20:50] Waka
    I went to the same middle school as Sato-kun.
[20:55] Waka
    And, well, uh...
[21:02] Waka
    There were certain rumors about him...
